Chapter 2243 The Cloud of Darkness in the Heart

After hearing what I said, both Chi Zhan and Chi Shan were silent at this moment.

Because I was right. For the sake of their own status, the demon race would not allow that variable to appear. At least, that variable could not be the human race.

The human race has been suppressed by all the major races for so many years, and even regarded as their own food by all the major races. However, one day, the human race actually showed the hope of rising, and even in the future, it might ride on the head of the demon race. How could they tolerate such a thing?

So, they launched a massacre against the human race!

A massacre that would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go, and even wanted to exterminate the human race!

The demons who participated in this massacre were far more than the few demons that had fought before. All demons might have participated in it. However, the porcupines and jackals were used as cannon fodder because they had suffered heavy losses before and were not very strong.

I even suspected that behind this massacre of humans were evil gods sent down from the gods to the world, or even immortals!

While everyone was silent, Chi Ruonan and her mother came back. After seeing that the three of us were getting along well, Chi Ruonan couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and then said to Chi Zhan: "Dad, there is news from the rest of the camp that the demon tribe has completely withdrawn!"

"The demon tribe has completely withdrawn?"

Chi Ruonan's words made us all look at each other in bewilderment. Before, everyone thought that the demon tribe withdrew because of my shock.

But what no one expected was that the rest of the demon tribe also withdrew?

This is worth pondering!

"Why did they suddenly withdraw all their troops?" Chi Zhan frowned. "The demons are numerous. Even if they have been attacking the human defense line for the past few days and are a little tired, they can be replaced by another group of demons to continue the attack. On the other hand, almost all the practitioners of the human race are stationed on the front line. As long as the consumption continues, the human defense line will collapse sooner or later. They have no reason to withdraw now!"

At this point, his expression suddenly changed, and he stood up and said, "No, the demons are not withdrawing, but they know that we are exhausted both physically and mentally, so they will temporarily withdraw, and they do this only to reorganize the next attack. The demon army may come soon, so everyone must remain vigilant, and notify the surrounding camps not to relax!"

"Zhan!" Chi Ruonan's mother suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Chi Zhan's thick palm, shook her head and said: "You can think of it, can't...others think of it?"

This sentence made Chi Zhan stunned, and then he seemed to have lost his soul and fell on the chair.

Yes, the human cultivators are not fools. Maybe someone has thought of this problem a long time ago.

But...

what can they do if they have thought of it?

The number of cultivators and dragon slayers of the human race is too limited. Now, almost all cultivators and dragon slayers with combat power have been mobilized to the front line. Everyone is exhausted and seriously injured in this offensive and defensive battle.

Some people even blacked out and fainted from exhaustion.

So, even if they know that the demon race may attack again soon, what can they do?

It is already difficult for the human race to continue to organize an effective defense line.

You can't force those who have fainted to wake up and let them continue to fight, right?

Whether they can be woken up or not is not the question. Even if they are woken up, they will be extremely exhausted. Not to mention killing the enemy, they will fall into despair.

And this feeling of despair will spread...

At this thought, everyone was silent, and everyone's heart was covered with a cloud at this moment.

But then, everyone hid their despair. Chi Zhan took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Organize the dragon slayers who are still able to fight to continue to guard the front line, let the villagers carry the wounded to the rear, and let the lightly injured rest in the camp. After all the dragon slayers on the front line...are killed in the battle, the lightly injured and still able to move human monks will make up!"

Hearing this, Chi Shan nodded, and then walked out of the tent to organize the manpower.

The general of this tent was Lu Lao San, and Chi Zhan was responsible for assisting Lu Lao San, but now, Lu Lao San not only lost an arm, but was also unconscious, so Chi Zhan had to take charge of the overall situation.

"Isn't Mu Han in this battlefield?" I suddenly frowned and asked.

"He was there at first, but he went all the way to kill the elders of the demon tribe. I don't know where he is now!" Chi Zhan shook his head and then walked out of the tent.

For a moment, only me, Chi Ruonan and her mother were left in the tent.

"Aren't you...going to look for the sacred Wutong tree?" Chi Ruonan looked at me and whispered, "Why don't you leave?"

"Leave?" I shook my head, "Leave now? Then am I still worthy of the title of Dragon Slayer?"

"You don't belong to this era. Everything that happened in this era was destined for you, and the solution has long been predetermined. Even if you die here, what difference will it make? The solution will not change, but you...really died in an era you don't belong to. The people here may not even remember you. And the people of your era...will also completely lose you, you..."

She hadn't finished her words yet, but I suddenly laughed, then turned to look at her, "Won't you remember me either?"

"I..." Chi Ruonan was startled, then glanced at her mother who was sitting beside her with a half-smile on her face, and her face turned red.

As for Chi Ruonan's mother, she couldn't hold back any longer, and was directly amused, and she laughed so hard that she fell backwards and shook her body.

"Hahaha... No wonder a silly girl like me recognized you in such a short time, you... Tsk tsk, you really know how to coax a girl!"

After saying that, she rolled her eyes at me, and then said: "You two young people can talk here!"

After saying that, she stood up and walked out of the tent, leaving Chi Ruonan and I sitting there.

"I don't know when the demon tribe will attack." Chi Ruonan's face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "This time, only my second uncle and I came to support Luoxia Village. If it weren't for Chi Tong and Chi Lu who took a group of uncles to die with the dragon, we could have more people from Luoxia Village."

"I just left, and the people stationed in the Zhang family went to each village to recruit people?" I asked with a frown.

"Yes!" Chi Ruonan nodded: "The other villages recruited more people, but they all went to support the defense line of their own village."

"In other words, the only ones who came to support this line of defense are you and...Chi Shan?"

My heart suddenly sank, because I knew that once the demons continued to attack, the few dragon slayers would not be able to resist at all.

At that time, it would not be a tug-of-war between offense and defense.

It would be a one-sided...massacre!
